This question appears in my today's advanced exercise.
(for me it is quite difficult)
A) I waved to her but she _________ at me.
1. was not looking
2. didn't look
I have peeked at the answer at the back of my book.
the answer is: was not look.
Why the past continuous tense is used when the progress is not impoart in this context?
when the progress is important then we use the continuous tense, for example:
I turned round when she was looking at me.
It makes sense.
But if I only want to express "did or not did", it should be:
I waved to her but she didn't look at me.
